Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 28. 1909.

Patented Dec. 13, 1910. Serial No. 525.046.

To all whom it may concern:

lle itknown that I, CLARI'INFF. A. EVANS. a citizen of he United States. residing at Chester. in the county of Delaware. State of Pennsylvania. have invented a new and usefol Combined llutton-l'look llanger and Toy. ot which the following is a L-zftflilttttlUll.

with one end of the. cord F. the other end 3 thereof being attached to the device. preter- My invention consists of a device conif posed of a handled-head provided with therein. for containing manicure sets.

members for the suspension oi articles tli l'C- on. and with means for sustaining the device in position on a wall. a ring and cord being tion of the head. the ring may be ca ght on either of said hooks forming an amusing and interesting toy said head having a chamber therein for the deposit of desired either closure being removable for access to said chamber.

For the purpose of explaining the invention. the accompanying drawing ill'astrates a satisfactory reduction of the same to practice. but the important instruinentalities thereof may be varied. and so it is to be understood that the inrentionis not hunted to the specific arrangement and orgainzation shown and described.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a button-hook hanger and toy embodying my invention in position as a hanger. Fig. 3 representsa perspective view ot the same in position as a toy. Fig. 3 represents a longivice adapted as a receptacle for the articles when not required to occupy the suspension members.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondiii; parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawing-A designates a block or head. which is provided with the handle 13. and having secured to it the hooks ably the handle thereof as at G.

The head is hollow forif ing the chamber tooth brushes. button liOt lLs. etc. for travelers and others. the ends if the head having ;caps ll thereon for closing said chamb r, also provided. whereby by proper manipnlaeither cap being removable for access to the chamber.

It will be seen that the device may be taken down from its place of support and handled as shown in Fig. 2, and then manipartieles. and means tor closing the SIHHKLE iilated so as to catch the ring F. on either of the. hooks C. which are numbered on the block and so make; the count for a game played with the toy. After this. the device may be hung up again and serve to support 9 thereon button-hooks or other articles placed on the hooks C. as hereinbet'ore stated.

In the use of the word hook. I consider a headed-pin or an angular nail as an equivalent to the curved hook shown.

Having thus described my invention. what- I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is:

A combined hanger and toy comprising a ;han(.lled-hcad. a 11 ok on the latter prog jot-ting theretroiu in relation to said handle. tudinal section showing the head of the dc- 1 a ring and a flexible connection for said ring \v ilh a member of the device. said head having a chamber therein and closures for said chainhencither closure being removable.
